WHY HAVE I RECEIVED THIS NOTICE?
The City of Santa Ana is proposing increases to its residential/curbside cart refuse collection rates. Customers who would be impacted by these changes are receiving this notice. The City of Santa Ana is dedicated to providing reliable and cost-effective curbside cart refuse collection service to its customers. The proposed increases are structured to directly align Waste Management’s (WM) increased cost for composting green waste. This is based on a proposed cost of $90.13 per ton to process and compost green waste, versus a current cost of $33.13 per ton to use green waste as landfill alternative daily cover.
We are seeking feedback to help the City Council make the right choice for the City of Santa Ana and its ratepayers.
WHY ARE RATE INCREASES NEEDED?
CHANGE IN LEGISLATIVE MANDATES
Landfill operators must cover all disposed solid waste at the end of each day and may use alternative materials in lieu of earthen materials. These materials are referred to as alternative daily cover (ADC). As of January 1, 2020, pursuant to Assembly Bill 1594, the use of green waste as ADC does not qualify for diversion credit and will be considered disposal for purposes of measuring a jurisdiction’s compliance with other state mandates. Previously, green waste collected from the City’s customers by WM was minimally processed by a third-party green waste facility, transferred to landfills to be used as ADC, and the City received diversion credit. To continue receiving diversion credit under the new restrictions of AB 1594, the green waste is now being composted by the third-party green waste facility, but at a higher cost to WM.
WHAT WOULD CHANGE?
If the proposed rate adjustments are approved by the City Council, residential/curbside cart refuse rates will increase as set forth in the table below:
PUBLIC HEARING PROCESS
At the time of the Public Hearing, the City Council will hear and consider all protests and objections to the proposed increases. Oral comments DO NOT qualify as a formal protest unless accompanied by a written protest. Upon conclusion of the hearing, the City Council will evaluate the written protests and consider the adoption of the proposed increases. The City Council is authorized to adopt the proposed increases if written protests do not represent at least a majority of identified parcels subject to the proposed adjustments. If adopted as proposed, the increased rates w i l l become effective on July 1, 2020, a n d July 1, 2021.
Implementation Date Increase Amount* July 1, 2020 $1.90
July 1, 2021 $1.50
*These amounts do not consider the standard annual adjustment.

PARA MAS INFORMACIÓN Para mas información acerca de los cambios a tarifas propuestos,
Favor de visitarnos en https://www.santa-ana.org/green/Prop218-2020.
¿POR QUÉ HE RECIBIDO ESTE A V I S O ?
La Ciudad de Santa Ana está proponiendo aumentos en sus tarifas de recolección en carrito/en la acera de basura. Los clientes que se verían afectados por estos cambios están recibiendo este aviso. La Ciudad de Santa Ana tiene el compromiso de brindar a sus clientes servicio confiable y rentable de recolección de basura en carrito de la acera. Los aumentos propuestos están estructurados para alinear directamente con el costo aumentado de Waste Management (WM) para el compostaje de residuos verdes. Esto se basa en un costo propuesto de $90.13 por tonelada para procesar y compostar desechos verdes, comparado con un costo actual de $33.13 por tonelada para usar los desechos verdes como cobertura diaria alternativa de vertedero.
Estamos buscando comentarios para ayudar al Concejo Municipal a tomar la decisión correcta para la Ciudad de Santa Ana y sus contribuyentes.
¿POR QUÉ SON NECESARIOS LOS AUMENTOS DE TARIFAS?
CAMBIO EN MANDATOS LEGISLATIVOS Los operadores de vertederos deben cubrir los desechos sólidos desechados al final de cada día y puede usar materiales alternativos en vez de materiales de tierra. Estos materiales se conocen como cobertura diaria alternativa (ADC). A partir del 1º de enero del 2020, de conformidad con el Proyecto de Ley 1594 de la Asamblea, el uso de desechos verdes como ADC no califica para el crédito de desvío y se considerará disposición con fines de medir el cumplimiento de una jurisdicción con otros mandatos estatales. Anteriormente, los desechos verdes recolectados de los clientes de la Ciudad por WM eran procesados mínimamente por una instalación verde de terceros, transferidos a vertederos para ser usados como ADC, y la Ciudad recibió crédito de desvío. Para continuar recibiendo crédito de desvío bajo las nuevas restricciones de AB 1594, los desechos verdes ahora están siendo compostados por la instalación verde de terceros, pero con un costo más alto para WM.
¿QUÉ CAMBIARÍA?
Si los ajustes de tarifas propuestos son aprobados por el Concejo Municipal, las tarifas de recolección residencial/en la acerca de basura aumentarán según la tabla siguiente:
PROCESO DE AUDIENCIA PÚBLICA
En el momento de la Audiencia Pública, el Concejo Municipal escuchará y considerará todas las protestas y objeciones a los aumentos propuestos. Los comentarios orales NO califican como una protesta formal a menos que estén acompañados por una protesta por escrito. Al concluir la audiencia, el Concejo Municipal evaluará las protestas por escrito y considerará la adopción de los aumentos propuestos. El Concejo Municipal tiene la autorización de adoptar los aumentos propuestos si las protestas por escrito no representan cuando menos una mayoría de parcelas identificadas sujetas a los ajustes propuestos. Si se adopta como se propone, las tarifas aumentadas entrarán en vigor el 1º de julio del 2020 y el 1º de julio del 2021.
Fecha de implementación
Cantidad del aumento*
1º de julio del 2020 $1.90
1º de julio del 2021 $1.50
